Ric Flair Quits WWE

Ric Flair today has quit the WWE according to reports. Of course this has nothing to do with the latest steroid scandal but instead the felling of Ric Flair that he is been misused by the WWE. The two could yet come to a compromise that would see a return but if Ric Flair does walk it will be interesting to see if he joins TNA or retires as he was scheduled to retire in a big send off at Wrestlemania 24.

Although it is a bad time for WWE to lose another superstar with all the current suspensions and injuries I can't say I'm upset at the loss of Ric Flair. Unquestionably one of the all time greats all that Flair has accomplished in recent years in a tarnishing of his own legacy.

Ric Flair should have retired years ago but sadly because of his high living lifestyle and several divorces Flair had to continue competing in the squared circle well beyond his years.

If Ric Flair does retire our memories of him should be his classics with Steamboat, Savage, Vader and others and not his jobbing days to far inferior wrestlers like Khali.

I just hope he does retire or return to WWE to retire at Wrestlemania rather than dragging out his career to a sad end in TNA.

I feel bad for Ric Flair because I use to watch him wrestle in WCW and the National Wrestling Alliance because He is a great wrestler and a 16 time world champion, It's nice that Ric Flair quits because he 58 years old I mean he should probably retire. Or maybe the WWE can actually put Ric Flair in the WWE Hall of Fame because that would prove that he is a legend in Wrestling like other great wrestlers in the hall of fame like Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart. But what can I say Ric Flair has made a good choice.
